I’ll post something about my fakemon region champion soon. He’s “The Slavy Royal Guardian” chosen by the protector of the region, the third legendary Lechodło (pronounced Le-chod-woh).
He’s based on a real person, Lech Wałęsa, former president of Poland and one of the most important people in Fall of communism in Poland. Lech Wałęsa, while he did a lot for Polish freedom from the Soviet Union, isn’t a perfect person (he’s very anti-gay and abortion and there were some controversies about what he did in the past) so I’m taking a lot of Liberties with the character I’m creating.
Mono water is the second most common type. Mono grass is the third with mono normal as the first. I can’t help but wish some of these mons had been dual typed
I mean… this is surprising how? Flora, fauna, and water are literally what set earth apart from nearly every other planet.
Yesah, but sceondary typings wouldn’t change that
Arbitrary dumb secondary typings are dumb. If they’re designed as monotypes, random secondary types are actually harmful because most people associate type with appearance and they shouldn’t be punished for using the right move for the situation.
I’m just saying some hav no excuse to be monotype *cough* Samurott
I love Samurott, but as a Fighting type it could’ve been much better
The excuse is: the only acceptable dual type for it was used by another starter in its Gen.
There, an excuse.
Fire/ground for a pig tho
They made it a wrestling pig. Fighting was pretty obvious because the type of fighting it’s based on doesn’t have any sort of connection to earth, unlike mud wrestling or something.
They’d have to redesign Emboar or slap a poorly conveyed typing onto it and justify it with the background most people wouldn’t get, which they would never do with a starter
oh waitThere’s no excuse for that starter being that type, when there are better ones available for it (ground, nothing etc
Oh yes I love my non Fighting fighter
You mean Incineroar?
What is a heel wrestler
A fighter
Sass isn’t cute on you sweetie
Speak for yourself -_-
I do speak for myself. Thought people would’ve noticed
few little design changes and Emboar could easily be a ground type (while still bipedal)
That’s the thing. Just because you don’t like the design doesn’t mean GameFreak didn’t like it. Their standards and yours are different and I doubt they care.
What? I like the design fine. Few changes could take away the need for it to be Fighting, and added a small ground theme.
If you think it’d take only small changes to make it visually fit Ground then I think you need to take a character design course
Also Samurott is a non fighting fighter
Samurais doesn’t really equal fighting tho. Like they’ve been more related to the steel typing in the Pokemon world
So you sure ground, a typing that related very directly to the animal the Pokemon is based on isn’t a better typing
‘Relates directly to the animal’
Um funnily enough none of our pigs have been ground besides Swinub sooo uhhh wouldn’t say that works out for you
Yeah doesn’t work because there hasn’t been any ground pig before
Thanks for realising my point. Association doesn’t work unless it’s been prior established.
So you sure news associations can be made
They can, but design > association and a standard wrestler isn’t associated with the ground at all. If they didn’t want fighting to take priority they would’ve made it a mud wrestler or just a muddy pig. Which they didn’t.
There are also too many pure Electric types.
*looks at Zeraora*
you could’ve been so great…
Water is super common tho, so it makes sense
True but dual types….
I hate mono water…
you dont like Wailord?
Nope, and I hate fight monotype water teams
It’s all the same shite
Politoed/Pelipper
Toxapex
Azumarill/Cloyster
Tapu Fini
Swampert/Kindra
Gyrados/Sharpedo
Sometimes Kabutops and Crawdaunt Alolmoloa Ludicolo Quagsire you name it
Why the hell Kabutops?
Swift Swim sweepers duh
But like there’s so many better swift swimmers
Well not everyone runs the exact same set
And I’ve fought billions of water teams and I’ve definitely seen Kaputops on them a few times
Kabutops is a great design? Idk
Fun fact: Since the champion of my region is actually not that important considering the region’s story, I haven’t even thought them up yet.
Make Earthen your champion. Not a character similar to Earthen, just Earthen.
An easy champion is a bit anticlimatic, dontcha think?
Top Ten Most Savage Characters in Anime
The Champion of my region is someone who brought world peace and prosperity to the jungle by putting the Fakemon somewhere else
No where else to put them
I want people to appreciate what I do, but I forgot no one really gives a sh*t about 90% of what I say or do here anyways
Because everytime someone tries to make a centralised area for Fakemon, people just ignore it. The reason why nobody ‘gives a sh*t’ is because people don’t come here for the Fakemon, they either come to discuss random stuff with their good judies or they’re here for Pokemon news
Yeah, but I come here partially to see fakemon, and I’m probably not alone. Even I didn’t post them myself, I’d still enjoy the ones from other people
It’s not the purpose of the site, and people have audibly complained about the excess.
Honestly this is the first time I’ve seen anyone openly complaining about it, while I have seen lots and lots people enjoying/making fakemon
do we browse the same site?
C’mon dude you were literally here when the last major complaint was made
When? (I really don’t recall it)
Can’t recall the date but it was when Luna was around and fairy was the one who complained
and Ultron
Yet no one complains when Star tells people 12 times to play Hollowknight
Because they’re short and snappy posts and other people here can enjoy and play Hollowknight whilst they can’t enjoy your Fakemon the same way you do because creation and observation are difference.
What’s this weird vendetta against Star for?
I have disliked Star for quite a time now because she acts like anyone with an opinion different than her (Liking Gen 6 or Diamond come to mind) is completely wrong and will portray people as f*cking morons just for thinking that
Love you too boo
Don’t get me wrong I don’t hate you, but sometimes I feel like Earthen when I’m in an argument
I want to just destroy everything and anything against me
It’s ok you can say you hate me don’t back out just cuz I read your comment
I said dislike, not hate
They are very different
Man you used to love me lol
This sounds like Taylor talking at the beginning of her music video before it goes dark sad and edgy lol
That has basically been my past year exactly
basically and exactly in one sentence
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/176/261/Windows_9X_BSOD.png
I have been having issuses lately (major self confidence lack, mini crisises, a wee bit of depression, ect.)
I probably need to find a way out of my rut and then I could learn to like y’all again the way I did when I first was here
So…. everyone on the jungle? Lol everyone on the jungle comes across as aggressive when they’re disagreeing, even you lol. You’re not above it.
I know that, but I remember once that FedEx (If you remember him) was arguing was just saying something about Gen.6 and Star wrote a pretty lengthy comment just trying to hurt his feelings
Because FedEx was a douche to Star and half of you didn’t hear it over the sound of him burying his head up everyone’s asses
I wasn’t here for that (Probably if I could see that I could give a better opinion on it)
You’re joking, right?
Again I never saw the things he said to her. Honest to Arceus, Lord Helix and Joey’s Rattata
He was a piece of shitt
I have never felt stupider after reading those posts Star sent (btw thank you for that Star)
Yeah I wanted to hurt his feelings. That’s what I wanted.
I totally didn’t write that because he was a total dick to me while putting up this facade of a nice chill guy. Totally not because he literally told me to try not to drown myself because I wasn’t excited about USUM. And totally not because I wanted to call him out for his bullshit.
I mean even if I did you all would still side with him because he would jack off everyone who agreed with him
I still wasn’t there for that (I think that was when I was on vacation or something)
Got any idea what article it was so I could see for myself what he said? (I believe you he said that, but I want to read it to know what I missed then)
oh you were certainly there but https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/16b25c0c6b19945fb111bd3f4da85021170c0f0d0df09791b16597d4f785b4a5.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b54eefe536e16e6768aa3f6a38cafdca1ea5ab4c3a3e49a6f3238e8bea465dd0.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3217636a90d25437fa1338e3f62fd77c8d8a366d2a49f699cdd281dc6e17fa15.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5e9bd8de1f494c9054ace22e7ea6cae667ee7352e407b175ef985dc32f305603.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/40ccc27b39a8d1ad750f52571ee5beeacd4fd0f113e2dc73d6b59cb6b2d7b6f6.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fcdea3aafed2c02a08d1312292acd723157cacd67fc454e5a5dc6451b498c71f.png
I have no recollection of these moments, honest to Arceus I don’t remember
I do see what you mean tho, seeing this I can confirm… How did I not see this? It sounds intentionally hostile and he used a few words to trick people (I also can see his sarcasm now even if I didn’t see it then)
I do now say I’m sorry about this and sorry that I defended him against you 🙁
I mean it’s a good game
But is it necessary to constantly say it?
Yes
She had to do that until another peep that’s very into Hollow appeared out of thin air and talked with her about the game.
Guess what happened, starts with V ends with oo :p
Valoroo really has been a great addition to the Jungle hasn’t he?
He’s new, but doesn’t direahpost and can agree with most people without an argument
Well for now 👀
(appears out of thin air)
Nothin Personell Jungle
I come here for a small because of fakemon like Butters
But whatever its not like anything I ever do here gets positive feed back from more than 3 people at max
I like your stuff 🙁
;3
First region ever without champion 😮
tf is an Alola amirite guys
I mean to be fair half the Pokémon community believe Kukui was the champion.
A region that eventually had one and you know yours won’t have any :p
Starting into my final animation project of the year… and it’s based around these guys

It’s the Aesops fable “The Frogs desire a King”
The basis for Politoed?

My teacher remarked that if teachers could make come backs at students (verbal ones) without reprocussions that the class situation would be much different.
This teacher is exactly why I like that classes
*class
I swear to god I look illiterate because of autocorrect
I wonder how they’ll tease walking Pokémon again next gen.
They will actually show it in the trailers then not put it in the game
Something needs to be in the game though, some teaser…
They’ll genetically create a pokemon in the real world and drag around the result on a leash behind them.
Yes, just yes
“New beloved features return!”
*Shows random unrelated footage of HGSS*
Hmm
“The berserk gene returns!”
It’ll be hidden in the coding again. Or they’ll show a Pokémon suspiciously close to a trainer in the trailer and people will speculate for 8 months about walking with pokemon only to be disappointed when the game comes out
I like when you guys draw your fakemons you should do that more
even when I do thatz?
Yeah man. Especially cuz I can like see your improvement
Yeah I enjoyed a few of those
Only a fewIf I could fucking draw I would
*sad trombone*
Draw dem anyway
Anyone can draw
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3f7a91762610812690d2f82ccb60191f400adb7493a0eca93315a88791ea5bdb.jpg
It’s true dude
I want this photoshopped with you on it with cook being replaced with draw
Learn to then can’t be so hard 😛
It proabably is
Actually, with the new rebooted Fakemon region I’m coming up with, I’m thinking of when I post a new mon I always include a drawing for it.
I’m spamming now to keep the jungle alive
I’m making a chance to let this place thrive
I’m here for y’all got your back like a Comfey
Making sure this place will stay alive till the next day
That’s not how you pronounce Comfey
Kom-fay
Like that
Tbh, you truly make this place more alive 😡
Than I’m doing my job :3
I wish I could also do my job
T o k i l l t h i s p l a c e
You realize what happens if you do right?
Yee :}
I used destiny bond
This I can agree
Dafuq are you going on about ghost boy?
Realizing this place is at risk of dying and nyooming in to assist
So Comfey’s name is actually pronounced comfy according to the anime…
Not… Com-fay… like… a lei…
WHY
Idk why they didn’t make it Comfei
Because that would have actually been clever
Because the it’s Comfrey + Fay. The flower part is covered by Comfrey and the Fay part lets you know it’s a fairy.
Comfeh
The anime isn’t always accurate with the pronunciations tbh
Remember Arseus vs Arkeus
*PTSD war flashbacks*
The correct pronunciation is with a hard C. Idk where people are getting the other way of seeing it……The anime as of when TPCI taking over is ALWAYS correct. You can try and explain names to yourself, but a name is a noun and it only has one correct pronunciation.
I want them to do a new season of Soul Eater that follows the manga more closely like Blue Exorcist got a new season that retconned the end of the original show. Would be so cool to see the final arc of Soul Eater done in the anime
JUUUUUUUSTICE
Would be so great. The end of the original Soul Easter anime was just so goofy…..even for Soul Eater…..I don’t need giant robots in that world……lol
*bravery
YES
JUST SO MUCH YES
I really wish we did more community projects.
And I’m not talking about the sixtieth attempt at getting jade jungle to work
I mean
Any suggestions so we can like disqus them and get started? :0
@detoxic:disqus
Actually…
@Seraph@spectralseraph:disqus
Love, actually
Ayyy
well@Monkeyfuzz:disqus
I have no Idea what I’m doing
Explain or else imI tagging more ”unrelated” people
@lastlittenfanstanding:disqus
Check above for what I posted
Sup
@BigGuyI:disqus
Oh I forgot that I killed that
Too many conflicting ideas, to many good ideas that I couldn’t figure out. I over extended myself again
Suggestion for those that don’t enjoy fakemon here
If you see a Fakemon post, minimize it
Sincerely, one of the people that enjoy fakemon here
Yes, I love minimising half the posts on this page which i have to repeat every time i get back onto it just because people want to share underdevloped fakemon they spent two seconds on.
Sincerely, one of the people that is sick and tired of Fakemon and used to post them here.
But you post them too tho?
Not as frequently, but you have
keyword, used to. I post like one a month because I know how people feel about them. But people don’t mind occasional posts.
Or even better
Don’t spam the site with them in the first place.
If you’re goona make really good ones with lots of thought and an actual design then I’m hyped
Otherwise we have so many they all blend together
Sup star I’m just passing through
Love you fam but they do get exhausting sometimes
Mine?
Yeah
Like you have the best ones hands down but it’s just the amount that are posted
True true
And awwwwhh!
I haven’t posted mine in a while tbh
Excuse me?
Omg saying seraph has my favorites doesn’t mean every single other is garbage.
You all have good ones. That’s not the point
I haven’t posted one in a while tho? I think a few weeks (I’ve hinted in making some, but never put them out there)
That doesn’t change anything.
Besides like, fanmons don’t spark conversation. They just don’t.
Seems nothing I say sparks any conversation :/
So a pokemon fangame made originally by thesuzerain (aka that dude who made insurgence) is getting remastered by some peeps. It’s not insurgence btw. This update is fairly interesting in my opinion and I am relatively excited to see where it goes.
https://p-epsilon.com/posts/2018-02-06/
Oh shet I had no idea they were doing this
Have they told us what the new cover legend will be or no?
YO FAKEMON/FANGAME PEEPS
https://discord.gg/kPzvhUX
yeah, but discord is very diffrent from disqus
Yeah, it’s better for talking in small groups
It doesn’t really work for long posts about fakemons/fangames
Press the pin button and it pins the comment
In one month or two yoully become totally familiarized with it
Don’t be scared
I’ve used discord many times before it’s not that, I just think disqus woerks much better for something like fangames/fakemons
You can make it work with pinning and tagging
Discord is worlds better
I only post mine here because nobody else seems to use discord outside a few peeps
You never invite anyone tbh
True
New year new me
Another one?
Yes
Im saving the world
Ideas for community projects
-Community playthroughs
-Community creative writing
-Community media swap (sharing your fave animes and mangos and shieet)
First is probably most likely
Only issue is, if we ‘barrier it’ (like, we can’t proceed until everyone bet the first gym) it might take a while and if we don’t it’ll be all over the place
Kick the peeps who take waaaay too long
I know it’s rude but if 99% of the peeps are at gym 1 and someone is straggling…
Didn’t we basically do the first one with everyone and their mothers playing Black? haha
Not to the same extent, it’d have more rubberbanding than that.
Mmmmm mangos graaaaagggghhggghgg
First and third.
Like I would love to talk about my favourite animmos with you :O
I liked the thing you did with different scenarios and Pokemon choices.
Community playthrough of BW2
Can’t proceed past a Gym but you can grind, backtrack, catch Pokemon on prior routes, etc
But, it’ll give everyone something to talk about and stuff
I’d prefer a 3DS game but SuMo/USUM would bore us all to death and Star and Seraph are still playing XY so if they wanted to take part that’d be awkward. And y’all know how i feel about bOReASs
B2W2 is goona be our last game soooo
demn
Uhhh maybe something else then? But you guys would probably be sick of Pokemon at that point. That said, this probably won’t happen for a while.
Honestly? Probably Sinnoh or Johto
Can we organize showdown tournaments maybe?
Those can be done in a day and you don’t have to breed a whole team
You know what? Yeah. Let’s do that. I remember joining or lurking when y’all were gym leaders or something
I love how me and star actively play a role in determining things here
But for real: best example
Remember when I started that Sage craze?
If only Sage were finished.
I still need to play sage.
Play it
And we start with the only ds game I can’t play 😐
why?
Never had the chace to buy a copy and my emulator couldn’t run it
It was just a suggestion, I’ll happily change the game if enough people show an interest.
What about the fan versions of BW?
I’d love that but they’re not as accessible as official games :0
I love how me and star actively are playing a role in game choosing
But remember the sage craze I started ? When phoenix rising comes out I might do that again so
FUCKK IT SAID IT DIDN’T POST THE FIRST TIME DAMNIT DISQUIS
I would do this but I just finished a Black 2 run back in November. Sorry 😐
Community idea
A chain of drawing eachother (as their “signatures”)
For example, I draw Earthen (as Rhyperior), then he has to draw someone else and so on
There would be no time pressure to do it, multiple chains could exist at the same time
I want to do it just name someone

Somehow I discovered Insurgence just now and I was hyped cuz Teams Olympus and Asgard sounded dope, but I don’t like that it doesn’t have fakemon. It looks fun, I just really prefer fangames with fakemon.
Ahem
Delta mons
Did you not notice the beehive Beartic?
They look creative, but Idk they make too little sense and even tho there are lots of them seem like worse regional forms/megas
https://discord.gg/SBsbpZ
Don’t forget
Was actually away to post the link again, please folks if you’re interested in the monotype tourney, join asap!
Well this is day…..i dunno 8 or 9 and still no shiny legit celebi
I just want to see it happen so i can finally stop, Hell i might even reset Crystal and redo it again for the sheer heck of it, its weird i just prefer playing pokemon games for the first half honestly and using Phanpy so early its weird but i just feel so excited the moment i see a male phanpy pop up and it actually gets captured
You could join our monotype tourney
